[Talk-GB] Naming of sewage treatment works and other such infrastructure

[Philip Barnes]

There are 3 between Shrewsbury and Crewe. Lots on the Cambrian and beyond Swansea 

There is little to distinguish the local request stops from the 3 principal stations, other than the lack of a ticket machine.

There is no button or bell. The trains that may stop slow down and you just put your hand out like a bus. Have only done that once, from one on the Cambrian.

To stop the train you just tell the conductor. They usually come rushing through the train just after Shrewsbury asking if anyone wants a request stop. They then go into the cab to tell the driver. I have done that for all 3 on the local line.
